Back to SEO Basics

Mapping out continuity for on page and off page SEO is a must. This means using consistent links, naming conventions, tags and Allintitle, Allintext and Allinanchor thresholds to solidify and synchronize ranking objectives.

Toppling a competitive keyword means understanding the balance of (1) on page term frequency (how weighted the keywords are within the copy) both on individual pages and globally within the site (2) trust – how long the site has been targeting a specific keyword or key phrase and (3) the off-page SEO ranking factors such as the amount of collective external / deep links required to overcome lack or relevance or inertia.

Typical results depend on the competitiveness of a keyword and can be fine-tuned over time. These thresholds are often measured in metrics that search engines use known as allintitle, allinanchor and allintext (which parse and calculate the respective quantities of present ranking factors).

By mastering each of the respective thresholds, one is capable of closing the gap and overcoming competitors who in some way, shape or form have similar earmarked references within their website.

The suggested reading list above digs deeper into the topic of Google Search Operators and how you can use them to polish your pages for top 10 dominance.

SEO often starts with a realization that competitors have an upper hand, then out of that competitiveness (and business savvy) the notion to conquer a coveted keyword and plant your page in the top 10 is the next impulsive realization.

What may not be obvious is the method used to overcome the various obstacles and milestones of relevance along the way that produce the effect of rankings.

The posts above will help to demystify the process or at least the understand the algorithmic guardians of relevance that protect the threshold from a perspective of quality control. Remember rankings are by the page, if you cross the tipping point, the search engines elevate your content as a preferred destination.

However, without a roadmap, its hard to determine where you are in the process, which is why having a tool to measure on page metrics such as allintext, allintitle and allinanchor ratios is an invaluable asset to your Ultimate SEO Toolkit.

Interesting insight.
I would like to make an addition to this – many business owners are so concerned with increasing their site rank that they do not bother about the content. Writing good content is the key and if the website owner really wants to promote the business online, then he/she must hire a professional to write the stuff.

Yes, writing good content is infact the key. Only people with profound interest in writing can create magic with words. When looking for freelance writer, enquire about the work done by the writer in past and ask for references.

When properly implemented, SEO can very likely improve your organic search rankings. But be leery of any search marketing company that makes guarantees. There are simply too many factors and variables for SEO success to be guaranteed

Well in doing SEO, the main thing you will do is to follow the basics. You have to set a plan in able to get your target goal for your site. It seems like people forget about using the basics these days but its truly helpful and that will be your start that you should never forget.
